Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Saturday’s governorship election in Kogi State, Musa Wada, has rejected the outcome although the full results are still being awaited.
Even as the Independent Electoral Commission continues to collate the results, Wada said on Sunday that the results being released were all false.
According to him, what happened in the state over the weekend is neither democracy nor a reflection of the wishes of the electorate.
Saying that the wishes of the people did not prevail at the polls, he lamented that the police colluded with INEC to undermine the will of the people of the state.
He said there is no need allowing for election, “if Okene that had forty thousand accredited voters, now came up with a hundred and twelve thousand.”
He described it as a sad day for Kogi people, who he said are in mourning mood.
He asked: “Do you see anybody rejoicing? Is this how it is the day after a true victory? It is not about me here. It is about the long suffering people of the state who have been under bondage in the last four years.
“I won this election free and fair. Just imagine that they leave out the rigged election of Okene, Okehi and the several cases of brutality meted on our supporters, and the widely reported cases of ballot snatching, I would have won neatly.
“The governorship election is not about me, but about another four years of misgovernance that would be midwifed by the APC. The results were already written, and is not a reflection of the people’s wishes.”
